    Hey

    I have never used xbox live but plan to start this weekend
    I know you get points for finishing achievements but I was wondering?
    Are these the same as microsoft points and can I also download xbox originals,demos etc. with these points?

    THeres 2 kinda points on Xbox Live.
    Gamerscore points are valueless, you get them after completing objectives.
    Microsoft points are paid for and you use them to purchase add ons, arcade games, etc. on Xbox live

    Just bragging rights, and it lets developers provide completionist with more value for money by getting them all. Microsoft do hold competitions from time to time. You have to register for them and the people who gain the most over a set period of time get prizes like free Live for a year, 3 months or a free game. Usually they only hold one or two per year.
